I ordered this garbage can about a week ago, it arrived at the office today… and the horror story begins.

I just moved into my own place and I am “pimping in out”. It is pretty swanky thus far and I needed to get a garbage can that would fit my styles. I checked Target, as well as Target.com and the can they had fell short of my expectations, especially for the price they wanted. EEEEK!

It has to have been a few months, but my grandpa was put into a nursing home. His legs would go out on him and he would hit the ground. Not Good. Well he has been going through therapy, gotten used to a wheel chair, things like that and is doing a bit better. There is a rumor that he will be able to come home in a few weeks. Now normally i should be happy about this, but I think it is really bad. Him and my grandma live in a standard chicago style bungaloo, if you do not know the style, there are stairs that lead to the main florr, and stairs that lead to the basement. The doors are small and it will be hard for a wheel chair to manuver around…not good. I guess it would make sense if my grandma was ripped like little richard sandrak, but she is not. So I do not know how they are going to handle all of the problems of getting him in and out of the chair, up and down the stairs, etc. etc. etc.

I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s got a big banner at the top with Ronald Reagan’s picture on it. But it’s called God Bless America. It even has the lyrics to God Bless America. Who makes this stuff? What are they trying to accomplish offering Ronald Reagan quotes on a website called God Bless America?

I guess they are going to be old school designs, meaning they are like older shaps; wider, fishtails, etc, but with cooler modern designs. I think they are made to appeal to people who have skated for years and want something different. You can chekc out his site by going to the following URL:

Either way it was very Interesting if I want I could worry a ton about it, but I won’t.

I have been busy with work.
I am trying to start getting a social life again.
I want to start working out at least 3 times weekly. I gained like 5 lbs in 2 weeks…and it was not good weight.
I have had a small headache for a few days.
I am going to be getting a good size tax refund this year…now I will have money for crank and whores…
I am thinking of buying property…like a condo or 2 flat… It is kind of scary, but kind of smart at the same time…rent is a waste…the only downside to buying a place would be living there for X length of time.
I might just save a pile of money and invest it in something stupid…maybe nanotechnology (joke…nanotech is actually the future)
fantasy-sports.com is for sale
werty dot net is now a PR5, kinda funny considering it is a piece and I do very little to optimize it
A while back I posted a spammy posting to a girls site who was selling a horse trailer…it ended up ranking high for all illinois trailer searches and sold…someone made 10g’s from it…it was not me, but cool either way.
I will change this layout of this site at some point…if I can get help with the CSS conversion.
I fall in love twice a day
Chai tea is the drink of the gods
I cut back on my drinking
Chicken and waffles is a great meal
I am going to toronto in like a month, and cannot wait…I am craving a break
I have a little bit of saving now and want to blow it on electronics…
I might be getting a free green tinted TV this week from a co-worker.
HellBoy the movie is TERRIBLE
City west theatre is ghetto on tuesdays.
I am ghetto on the weekend.
Anthony logistics hand/body lotion smells damn good
Vitamins will one day rule the world
B12/B6 in turbo doses=healthy mind
It is fun to be a jerk
I hate the blue line
Mornings are for chumps
Reading is good
People are not
I need to start painting/photo/sculpture again.
Hot dates rule
There are 2 types of massages…
Corn Syrup will be the death of us
I won a free song from Itunes
Social Networking is stupid
show me your tits
It is good to have friends
Carbon Monoxide, the silent killer
Things should be cheaper, and we should be paid more
I will never be able to afford a good view
Summer is just around the corner
I need to have a yard sale
I cannot wait to BBQ
I can out shoot 90% of the population(photography)
Based on my experience, blondes can have fun
The glass is rarely empty
My plate is always full
